BOTTOM LINE:

This process is easier than it seems. It’s all about the conversation!

And it happens little by little over time.

Your job is to consistently followup.

Consistently be all about the donor and help her be excited by the possibilities.

Have YOU used these strategies? How do they work for you?

Over the past week I’ve had the privilege, and I use that word deliberately, to attend three great meetings, all of which serve to inspire me. All presenters were on their game, which gives me great hope for our future. Thank you for being one of these three.
